'Brilliant' NEW STATESMAN, BOOKS OF THE YEAR
'Enlightening and a good read' SPECTATOR
'Moving and perceptive' NEW STATESMAN
Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, Ceausescu, Mengistu of Ethiopia and Duvalier of Haiti.
No dictator can rule through fear and violence alone. Naked power can be grabbed and held temporarily, but it never suffices in the long term. A tyrant who can compel his own people to acclaim him will last longer. The paradox of the modern dictator is that he must create the illusion of popular support. Throughout the twentieth century, hundreds of millions of people were condemned to enthusiasm, obliged to hail their leaders even as they were herded down the road to serfdom.
In How to Be a Dictator, Frank Dikutter returns to eight of the most chillingly effective personality cults of the twentieth century. From carefully choreographed parades to the deliberate cultivation of a shroud of mystery through iron censorship, these dictators ceaselessly worked on their own image and encouraged the population at large to glorify them. At a time when democracy is in retreat, are we seeing a revival of the same techniques among some of today's world leaders?
This timely study, told with great narrative verve, examines how a cult takes hold, grows, and sustains itself. It places the cult of personality where it belongs, at the very heart of tyranny.

Excellent Variety Pack - Dogs Love These Toys
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
This 25-pack is fantastic value with excellent variety—ropes, squeakers, and different textures keep dogs entertained. They're colorful, well-made, and my dogs love them. The main downside is the chew resistance on the rubber toys isn't the best; aggressive chewers can break through them fairly quickly. That said, for the price and the sheer number of toys you get, it's still a solid buy. Perfect for rotation and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. Just know that heavy chewers might go through the rubber ones faster than expected.

Fantastic variety of doggie toys perfect for our little fur baby!!!
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Fantastic for smaller dogs, our little chi-mix loves all of the toys, there's such a great variety and he's having so much fun chewing them and playing fetch with them. Even comes with many extra rolls of waste bags which is awesome. Highly recommended for the value and amount you receive!

SMALL DOGS ONLY!!!!
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Every one of these toys are made for very small dogs. 🤣 They're almost too small for my 8 wk old border collies. Im still not upset at the order though as the pups will all be rehomed after this weekend. Was just bummed that every single one was made for SMALL DOGS. Am super happy with how fast shipping was.

Nice dog toys
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Nice toys, but no match for my 2 year old female pitbull. Most toys she shreds. Even some that are supposed to be indestructible. Some of these lasted for a while.
